Scoreboard
Wins and losses by race type and by kind of support. Outcomes come from election authorities or AP; the connection labels come from the files.
74% of the files survived their primary. Piker’s record looks strong until you separate the deep-blue New York districts from the contested races.
10 congressional or Senate files. 3 of them unseated a sitting Democratic incumbent: McKinney, Kiros, Chevalier.
Mostly the New York City DSA slate: one rally, ten Assembly and Senate files, nine wins in districts where the primary is the election.
Only one file rests on an explicit, on-the-record endorsement. The rest are rallies, canvasses, and fundraising streams. The same support, delivered without the word.

A plain-language index of every file, for readers and search engines alike.
HasanBacked is an independent, sourced record of the candidates Hasan Piker (the Twitch streamer known as HasanAbi) endorsed, rallied for, interviewed with an appeal to vote, or raised money for in the 2026 midterm primaries. It covers 19 candidates across 9 states: U.S. Senate and House races, a governor's race, and the ten-candidate NYC-DSA slate for the New York legislature.
Each candidate file documents the Piker connection with a dated source, the candidate's own positions measured against the national Democratic Party line on eight issues (arms embargo on Israel, abolishing ICE, Medicare for All, DSA membership, police and prison policy, BDS, AIPAC, and challenging incumbents), the flashpoint the campaign had to answer for, how the campaign handled the association, and the primary result from an election authority or AP.
The companion profile explains who Hasan Piker is, what his audience delivers to a campaign, and the 12 controversies that follow every candidate who shares a stage with him, each with the clip, the context, and his response.
A candidate's inclusion documents Piker's support. It does not establish that the candidate shares every statement or position attributed to him. Positions in the matrix are the candidate's own, sourced.
